Decorating Easter eggs turned out to be the perfect stay-at-home Easter activity for me this year. I went a little crazy, decorating 52 eggs total! Needless to say, my parents and I will be eating hard-boiled eggs for awhile! My mom also used several of them in her seven layer salad recipe, a favorite Easter dish of mine. This year I used a Paas Deluxe egg decorating kit ordered online from Target that contained nine different colors of dye, and an American Crafts Easter Rabbit egg decorating kit shipped from Paper Source that reminded me so much…
Happy Spring! Today I’m sharing my Easter eggs I made this year in a late night egg dyeing and decorating session the evening before Easter with my Mom. Because Easter weekend was busy with Fairyville and family Easter activities, I kept my eggs pretty simple this year and didn’t go overboard with techniques. I added stickers to a lot of the eggs, my favorite way to decorate dyed eggs quickly. I tried a few new metallic effects, and also used a super cute Easter Animals egg decorating kit by Paper Source to make some fast and…
Decorating Easter eggs is a tradition I’ve carried on from childhood into adulthood. I dye and decorate Easter eggs nearly every year. Each year I try at least one new kit or technique.

Kits are perfect…
Today I’m sharing two sweet little scenes my mom and I made that provide instant cheer and a pop of Spring wherever you set them. These displays were inspired by the adorable Garden Bunny Cloche Pottery Barn featured in their catalog last year. My mom saw it and sent it to me as Easter craft inspiration. (Pottery Barn’s cloche was $169, with a sale price of $101 – way out of our budget!) When I saw Michael’s had cloches on sale for $12.74, I picked up one for each of us. Their cloches are really nice…
Last October I shared with you my Halloween fairy garden, a fun artificial garden display that I set up indoors shortly before my outdoor fairy gardens succumbed to the first frost. Well now we’ve made it through winter and I’m thinking Spring! I can’t wait for flowers and warm weather! Already the snow and bitter chill are gone, daffodil shoots are starting to come up, and the days are getting brighter and longer. To tide me over to Spring planting time, I set up a cheerful little indoor Easter fairy garden. I saw the Easter fairy garden…
